Design of LabVIEW Based SCADA System for Pneumatics Applications (original) (raw)

SCADA is the acronym for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. The term SCADA refers to a central system that monitors and controls a complete site. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) /SCADA industry was essentially born out of a need for a user-friendly front-end to a control system containing controllers like programmable logic controllers (PLC) Propotional Integral Derivative Controllers(PID) etc. The SCADA system usually presents the information to the operating personnel in the form of a mimic. This means that the operator can see a representation of the plant being controlled. Also data can be logged in to the system. LabVIEW-Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench. LabVIEW is graphical programming for measurement and automation. It is a development tool available for applications in test and measurement. LabVIEW enables easy data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation.This paper discusses a novel idea to develop a SCADA system for pneumatic applications using user friendly software like LABVIEW and low cost field serviceable Human Machine Interface that is a Personal Computer.
